74F538
1-of-8 Decoder with 3-STATE Outputs
General Description
The 74F538 decoder/dem ultiplexer acce pts three Address
(A
0–A2
) input signals and decodes them to select one of
eight mutually exclusive outputs. A polarity control input (P)
determines whether th e outputs are active LOW or active
HIGH. A HIGH Signal on eith er of the active LOW Outp ut
Enable (OE
) inputs forces all output s to the high impedance state. Two active HIGH and two act ive LOW input
enables are available for easy e xpan sion to 1-o f 32 decoding with four packages, o r for data de mul tiplexin g to 1 -of-8
or 1-of-16 destinations.
Features
■ Output polarity control
■ Data demultiplexing capability
■ Multiple enables for expansion
■ 3-STATE outputs
Ordering Code:
Devices also availab le in Tape and Reel. Specify by appending th e s uffix let t er “X” to the ordering code.
